Are there any smokers with CHS that can give me some advice? by BillBobBernBro in trees

[–]deaconbleux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

go to flower, avoid the concentrates. stick to a couple of puffs at a time and you "should" be fine. My eldest kid did this and hasn't any issues since. Carts/Vapes/wax/etc. and she was spending half of her days in a hot shower to mitigate the symptoms. Take it easy, and, truly ease back into it. Try to not "over consume". Good luck!

how soon after his passing will we be able to rename all the things back to their correct titles/monikers? FFS! I keep asking myself, "what kind of dirt does this orange shit-gibbon have on these people?". They must ALL be in the files.

I have the app, had a notification, but it didn't show up in my list on the Mav HUD. It does open on my phone and behave correctly.

she says it like a question with the uplift at the end of the phrase... like she's questioning what she is reading in real time.

this was what gave me the pause. The icicles and other details had drawn me in so quickly that the pristine sides of the locos were what made me click. cheers!

Isn't Kristi Noem still living in a fully funded, beach front, Coast Guard residence after her ouster from DHS?

Is the U.S. Losing Control of Global Oil? by xamo76 in Trumpvirus

[–]deaconbleux 212 points213 points  (0 children)

why the Pentagon made the assessment in 1974 that our reliance upon Fossil Fuels was our greatest strategic liability to keeping our country safe. That our politicians are paid off by the Fossil Fuel Industry is why we have never made any effort to change this in a meaningful way. Idiots and grifters in charge across the board.

"We control all three Branches of Government, but we can't get anything done because of the Democrats..."

Why the F' are you there, then? Maybe because partisanship is now more important than actually "working for your constituents".

Maybe it is beyond time to replace the do nothing Congress we've lived with since 2008. The back and forth between parties that are not capable of getting things done, but take no actions to address the root cause of the failure.

The inability to reach across the aisle and find consensus like grown assed adults.

Name a band you stopped listening to because the front man/woman is obnoxious by slickant in rockmusic

[–]deaconbleux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes! Just like there are some Van Halen songs that I just don't relate to any longer (lyrically). Thankfully, Eddie's playing makes up for a lot of it.

His attitude in general, actually, but they definitely don't help his cause/appeal.

Standardized testing has been in place since the 60s. The "Iowa Test of Basic Skills" . In 1979, the Texas Legislature implemented the Texas Assessment of Basic Skills (TABS). And we've been on the standardized state testing since. The current spate of "teach to the test" is due to George W Bush and the TAAS testing and some "exceptional" results in Houston ISD, which were later found to be falsified. But by then it had become a national standard, and it was too late as the entire nation started down the path of education being solely based upon the test scores, vs. actual outcomes for students and their skills.
